So obviously, I am no longer in Yemen, and it’s looking unlikely that I’ll be able to make it back there for a while. So here’s my final farewell, via Foreign Policy. When I met Saleh in Socotra, it wasn’t the last time. Take a gander at the man behind the curtain.

Thank you for the pool party article. There are rumors that the secret beach house existed for you know….. 😉 Now its confirmed. This is better than wikileaks on the alcohol. Being alone with guys like those two is dangerous, so we are glad you made it out safely. Being alone with a dictator hitting on you in an isolated beach club alone isn’t safe. We are glad you are alright.
